Most informative poster of LetsRun.com (vote)

This site is one of the most useful sites with a vast amount of posters with great knowledge; however, MANY (not all) posters dont take interest in serious pieces. WHY?

Look vipam,

I consider you to be well informed on the subject of competitive running, and I can almost understand your pathological devotion to the subject. I, however, come to this site to share with people of a common spirit, connected through a love of running. While I admire our greatest elite athletes (Paula especially) I'm not particularly obsessed with them. I prefer a bit of collegial banter between fellow wishful-thinking, wannabe athletes.

Pathological, Pete thats a bit much. Maybe I am serious about it because I am about to get my Bachelor in Sports Psychology.

Does anyone know if there is a site(s) that will have some type of NCAA or World Indoor prediction contest this year? The ones that appeared on a few sites last year was fun!

Vipam,

if that's the case (about the degree), then you are actually qualified to add to the psychoanalysis thread. I don't think anyone's analysed sevatonic yet. Some other notables also remain thus far untouched. Go give it a shot.

Pardon my use of the word "pathological" - perhaps a bit too much oomph on the emphasis I was trying to make.

No one analyze me yet because maybe I was trying to be moderate to everyone in every topic, so no hard feelings to anybody, except to johnny"boy"utah and mr."great"britain-waz.

Anyway, I think someday we need to get a gathering or get-together for all posters in one place, organize a running camp or something my suggestion, and we can talk endlessly from morning to morning, and night to night.The only obstacle is of course, some are in overseas, you should know that that are some phillipinos,koreans,and japs posting in this board anonymously, around 7-8 people if I'm not wrong.

But sincerely, even if I can not come to it, you guys really have to make a gathering or running camp somewhere (in america.

Seriously.

Vipam continue to do the great job of posting interesting topics and ignoring the fools that attack you.

Vipam-best poster, informative, entertaining

Wejo-best website moderator

McVeigh-intelligent, needs to post more

Hadd-long winded, knows about training methods

Tara-gotta love this girl

To my top five thanks for the great post.

Catherine

this is so weird... all these old threads keep popping back up

wow, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I assure you I'm not informative. I'm really just very confused all of the time...

Tara stick with a name already!

You have to understand that when you live in Kilometer countries about 95% of the time for 5+ years (Thailand, China, Laos, Cambodia, Australia, Japan) the measurement system kind of sinks in.

KM's are a better way of measuring anyway, since most of the races that we run are in KMs.

A 10km or 10000 on the track is EXACTLY 10 KMs, 6.1968474 miles.

A 1500 is EXACTLY ONE AND A HALF KM's, or 1.86854844 miles.

(I am totally making up the numerals behind the decimal point)

When you are running a marathon, getting your splits in KM's is much better because you can adjust your pace quicker.

And, BTW, before the year 2000, my previous good chance to run sub-2;20 for a marathon was in 1990, TEN YEARS previous.

I actually would argue Jon Gault is more knowledgeable. Wejo a close second, and Renato "epo doesn't work on Jemima" a distant third
